It’s been a while since we’ve heard news about The War Z, the controversial online zombie game that was kind of a mess in just about every possible way. So today’s news is kind of interesting: the folks behind The War Z are changing the game’s name to make it less like that other zombie MMO, DayZ.

This game got a lot of bad press for being released before it was truly ready but overall I still like it and the devs "seem" to listen to the community and are always trying to work on bringing in the missing features etc.

This is exactly why I don't read Kotaku. They've completely skipped the reason why it was renamed. It's not an attempt to sucker people into buying it because of the negative press. They were forced to because of a conflicting copyright name. The most obvious guess being World War Z releasing next week in cinemas. It's also not news, they mentioned this months ago.
